Hi, been playing wow for like 7 years, also tried a few others, but I keep returning to WoW.

I just purchased GW2. started a Asura Ranger. i love the Combat. and so far im just lvl 8 but having fun.

Im still a bit lost on all the interaction with helping and understanding crafting. i just been selling stuff, and have purchased a nice long bow and a few other things from the AH vendor. i have about 8s xc which is plenty, process of low stuff thats blue or above seems pretty cheap.

im not sure what stats i need to focus on as a ranger? i love the small look of the race and enjoy how fluid the combat is. just not sure if im on the right track.

any guides on rangers? also, at what point do i get out into the world and start seeing others, so far , its just asura folk. i know each race starts in its own area, but when do we all kind of merge?

i have looked on the forms, but its a bit overweleming to find a good guide for my profession, and/or a good guide on how to work thru the starting zones.

thanks for any assistance or help in getting me off in the right direction on this new venture of gamming. so far i enjoy it and im having a hard time logging off? also. any tips. do u get any rested xp? also, i noticed on the AH a buying service for gems? i guess u can spend real $ for stuff? not sure what thats about..

Hello there welcome to gw2 which class did u played on wow mainly?
Anyway, you start to see other player around lvl25? don’t really remember well since i am leveling up on WvW most of the time.

About rangers the stat’s you need depend on your build, weapon choice.
For leveling up i suggest power/precision the third one could be critical damage or anything you want.
This way you maximize your raw damage at cost of durability

to get fast xp and the best experience out of this game i suggest you to don’t rush to level 80, exploring area’s gathering and crafting give you a large amount of XP, and you also get xp from map completion, (gw2chartograper helps)

About guide for ranger, I have no idea, but if you are an adventuring player you could try yourself going to heart of mist(2 sword crossed top left) and experiment various build/mechanics of the class. This will give you the general idea of the class and will help you developing your character in the way you like, or at least helped me to do so.

There is no rested in GW2 and the gem system allow you to buy cosmetics and utility like additional bag slot’s but be aware you can trade in-game currency for get so technically you can fully enjoy the game whiteout spending a single $.
